BEIJING — China's state broadcaster isn't saying why the station ran the music to "America the Beautiful" during the gala live broadcast of the country's latest space launch.
Strains of the famed American patriotic tune rang out following the launch of the Tiang Gong-1 experimental space station module late Thursday night.
It wasn't clear why the music had been picked or whether CCTV producers were aware of the origins of the song, whose lyrics include the lines "America! America! God shed His grace on thee."
An operator answering phones at CCTV's Beijing headquarters on Friday said no spokesman was available and calls to the station's international affairs department rang unanswered.

MUTHA F&%^$*%($# My TV's lamp is going out.It keeps shutting off by itself. If its not one thing its another.

Time to get rid of the 1979 Zenith TV and upgrade to a newer and better TV. You might be able to make out who is playing on the Cowboy games instead of guessing with your black and white screen. Welcome to the future. Quit living in the past! YOU DAMNED OLD FOGEY!

Aww, that sucks. What do you mean by "TV Lamp" though?

Yeah, dusty. Maybe you just need to adjust the rabbit ears a little or put some tin foil on the ends.

Ha! Zenith TVs. We had a big ol' console Zenith when I was a kid. Fake wood paneling and everything!

Hell I think everyone had a damn Zenith and THOSE DAMN THINGS WERE HEAVY!! I had to move one when I was in high school and that may have been some fake wood paneling but that crap weighed a ton!!! Those tv's took up half a damn wall in a trailer house!
